The cat sat on the......

This ginger tom was hiding in my neighbour's garden this morning. At first he appeared just to be sunning himself. When he saw the dog he then took an interest in us and then when he saw the camera he naturally started posing.

Up until about two years ago we had a ginger tom - Tig and a tabby queen - Roo. They are much missed but coping with the new dog, Pip is a major job without taking on a new owner (ie a cat).

Pip is just daft, a direct descendent of Madnuss Madnussen. Quite unlike her predecessor, Megan. I now know that all collies are not the same!
